In Shadow Piece(s): Chance-Based Responses in Clay, seven ceramic artists—Maggie Adams, Alexis C. Brunkow, E.C. Comstock, Tomo Ingalls, Vanessa Romo, Jennifer Schumacher Waller, and Kurt Tomerlin—respond to a single set of written instructions: Shadow Piece (1963) by Japanese Fluxus artist Meiko Shiomi. Originally conceived as a poetic performance score, Shadow Piece invites a meditation on the presence and movement of shadow in space and time.

Curated by E.C. Comstock and Olive Comstock.

2024–25 Lab Grant Residency Artist Sam Moyer will discuss her experience working at Dieu Donné Paper Mill to develop her first series of handmade paper works.

In her series Soft Mods, she used alternating layers of translucent abaca and pigmented cotton, in shades of Payne’s grey. Working intuitively, Moyer manipulated paper pulp in a sculptural way, creating images that seem composed of light and shadow.
